Pamela Raintree and her stone are being celebrated by the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community of Shreveport, Louisiana, for their incredible parts in sustaining the city's LGBT non-discrimination ordinance, which was under threat of repeal.

As Towleroad notes, the transgender woman recently confronted Councilman Ron Webb, the single dissenting vote against the ordinance, which passed in December, and the mastermind behind a repeal of the law.

Raintree brought the stone with her to the council meeting and stated, "Leviticus 20:13 states, 'If a man lie also with mankind as he lieth with a woman, they shall surely put him to death.' I brought the first stone Mr. Webb, in case that your Bible talk isn't just a smoke screen for personal prejudices."

KMSSTV.com reports that after Raintree gave her moving speech, "Webb moved to withdraw his proposal to repeal the Fairness Ordinance" and "his withdrawal motion received support and was unanimously supported."

Watch Raintree's incredible speech above.

I think this kind of action needs to be repeated all across the country. I'm especially impressed that Ms. Roundtree did this in a place like Shreveport, which isn't known for being the most progressive place on the US. This is especially appropriate to read on MLK Day, as we honor another Southern misfit who wasn't afraid to stand up to the status quo.

My husband sent me a link to that video, and I nearly cried at my desk! I don't know why more people don't use that line of thinking! It seems to have worked in this case.
